Biography

Although obscured by negligible biographical records, Swedish furniture designer David Rosén born, allegedly, in 1910, can be professionally traced by his involvement with esteemed department store and modernist furniture manufacturer Nordiska Kompaniet (NK). Particularly prolific in the 1950s, Rosén produced a variety of casegoods, tables, and chairs, often brass-framed and constructed with fine wood, using combinations of pien, beech, teak and mahogany. His most famous series for the company was Futura, developed in 1949. Across his NK tenure, he often collaborated with other designers, including Stig Lindberg. He passed away in 1993.
